Over at the official Playstation blog, Sony was asked for a response on a comment by a Ubisoft developer who said that the PS3 can't handle AI as well as Xbox 360. David Karraker of Sony has since responded to say that the PS3 can more than handle AI as evident in Heavenly Sword, which boasts hundreds of on screen enmies with various AI routines all at one time due to the CELL.

Would you guys mind commenting on the recent statements by a Ubisoft Developer claiming that ¡°the PS3 can¡¯t handle AI nearly as well as the 360¡å

It seems more of the same type of stuff addressed in your ¡°Is the PS3 Really Harder to Develop For?¡± blog¡* But it would be nice to get an official response to the attack on the PS3¡¯s capabilities.

It is nice to have something these articles about this can print to balance out the reporting.

RESPONSE: @Free ¡ª PS3 can more than handle AI, as you will see with Heavenly Sword, which has hundreds of on-screen enemies with different AI routines at one time thanks to the power of CELL.
